Trip 9: The drive down to Grafham Water was easy and trouble free. We were not allowed on the campsite until 2.00 pm so we went to the car park by the Grafton Water visitor centre, here we had lunch and people watched. At 2.00 pm we headed back to the Shooters Hollow campsite. The …
The Habitation door
Window Repair After a great few days away at Bridlington we had a week at home to do all the normal things with the garden and house. It is also half term so we had the grandchildren over for a couple of days. On one of these days it had been raining over night and …
Worcestershire another first
We are off to Cob House Park in Worcestershire despite having a Habitation door window held in with duct tape. The warranty claim is in progress but we cannot wait for a fix. The route took us to Nottingham then onto the A42/M42 around Birmingham to the M5. I had seen we needed junction 5 …
Iona goes to the Coast
Bridlington Yacht Club. We are going back up north, over the river Humber to Fraisthorpe just south of Bridlington, Yorkshire. We were very near here last year and it was a great seaside venue, only 300 metres to the beach. This year the campsite is even closer. Now that we consider winter has gone the …
Iona returns to Empingham Reservoir
All set up Our planned trip to Hatton Country World was cancelled due to last weeks wet weather and the venue is waterlogged. We have been stuck before on muddy grass so a wet rally field is a bit off putting. So we have planned to go to Lyndon top which is basically 117 acres …
Iona heads to Epworth
We have bought some Milenco Quatro ramps from a lady in Cambridgeshire. We need to pick them up the day before we set off for Epworth. This extra task will shorten the pre trip loading time so Sue has decided to load as much as she can on the Tuesday before we leave on …

Iona goes to Leicestershire
After the bad weather we were looking for somewhere fairly near with electric, just in case the sun failed to shine and charge the batteries. We found Hill Top caravan site. This is a small site with minimal facilities and very little walking options apart from the village of Thrussington but for £9 per …
Iona finds a Secret Garden
With six inches of snow three days before we were due to drive to Wisbech, it was touch and go if this trip would go ahead. The drive to the Secret Garden Site was fine although I had added a way point to the sat nav route to ensure we missed a narrow …
Iona goes to the Races
Our first trip in 2018 is to venture South and East, our destination is Fakenham racecourse. Hopefully the weather will stay snow free, and we have seen the last of the storms that have covered the country in early February. The drive down was fine apart from having to stop at a lay-by to work …
